Collage

Collage:• A Collage is an artwork created by gluing pictures

together• You will need to gather up images in order to

construct a new image– Images can be built from either whole photos or areas

of color– You may use images from magazines, newspapers,

prints from the internet, or even old artwork you have done

• Your collage should create an illusion of depth by using foreground, middle-ground, and background

Creating space:

• Foreground– The nearest objects to us

• Middle-ground– Everything between the closest objects and

the horizon• Background

– Objects on the horizon

• Needs to be school appropriate images• Don’t bring anything you aren’t willing to

cut• Xeroxes of images work well too!• Text can be included, but should be limited

(it destroys the illusion of space)
